It's a freeride jump seat. The seatpost is so low and angled, due to the fact that it's not a bike for sitting....but you want to protect the groin, and have something to grap when you've got air.

It is a cool seat, but I prefer old-school seats with longer seatposts, because I'm not a trick-laden freerider, more of a daredevil adventure biker. But if skateboard vert tricks on a huge wheeled singlespeed MTB is your thing....

See you at Whistler.

Its made of ultra-comfortable hard plastic so it moulds to your behind like a brooks saddle.

i really like the looks of that. i was going to cop a new brooks after the new year, but i may just save up a little bit more and spring for one of them.

how are fizik saddles? comfortable?
i checked out a bunch on ebay and i saw a few i really liked (including a silver / chrome one) for kinda cheap.

You wouldn't be able to use this saddle with a normal seatpost as it has oversized rails.
On fizik saddels the arione is one of the best saddels i have ever had.

The worst saddle that I've ever used in my entire life was a Fizik Pave. I would like to try out their Arione and Aliante models though.

the packaging for that saddle is awesome.

it's on a styrofoam tray wrapped in plastic wrap like the meat you get from the grocery store.

I like it in brown, and I like the fact that it says freek on the side. I don't think I would like sitting on it much. Then again, it's probably not any worse then the hard plastic BMX saddle I rode for years as a kid.
